Ride On

Fuzzy and I hung out tonight. It would be his last night in town. Started to cruise around town as he tried to race fellow cars out there such as that red eclipse and that camaro you might see at Mcdonald's every now and then. Anywho, had a good time hanging out with him since it is his last night in town for awhile. Went to perkins to shoot the breeze, talked about how much he is going to miss this place, worried about his Dad. Dad didn't want him to leave. I know it is hard, but I believe everyone needs to leave home for a good while, and need to figure out the world on their own...like I am (pffftt...four hours away). Fuzzy is actually going Denver so he'll be far from home, building airplanes. Sure am going to miss him. I wish him the best that he drives safe, and comes home safe to his family. I really pity his father and him. It's good to see that fuzzy is leaving the nest where he has stayed in for a long time, and taking a huge step in his life. it will benefit him in a long run.

God Bless you, Fuzzy

A lot of my friends I met my first year have been distant. Lot have either failed out, dropped out, trasnferred, etc. Talked to my friend Lisa today who lives in Florida. Became friends with her at an intervarsity retreat October of 2003. She called me "J-Dog"....stellar. We hung out every now and then and I wish that I could have hung out with her more. I miss her. She is living in Florida now, taking some classes there. She will not come back to Bemidji State..however she will visit at the end of August.

Mattie is one of my best freinds. Legend from Princeton: Land of cheating, white trash women!! (Ask him about it) He lasted a couple years here at BSU...went to the tech for a semester and returned. He was pursuing to be an auto-mechanic. Anywho, we had some great times, working on his probe outside of town. Made some good progress...he is almost done with it! He'll bring that SOB up here this September...wanna race anyone? He and I became close and I could talk to him about anything, and it was great. Had our group of friends up here on 3rd floor, drinking parties just around the corner, in fact. LOL...brought him a bottle of everclear from Grand Forks and mixed it with lemonade (Devil's piss) and loved it! That shit kills.

Cowboy...we all know who the cowboy is. If you don't, you never went to BSU. This guy made me laugh all the time, and if I have a bad day, i would always go to him and shoot the shit. He tries to make the best out of everything. I remember one time watching a movie (huge ass classroom) during Tom Beech's class (movie night), and he just blurted out "Turn this shit off already..." This guy may not be well-mannered at times, and he knows it. He's stragith up, no bullshit, and if you dont' like what he says, take your virgin ears elsewhere!! This other time, i witnessed a fight between him and some guys at the Mad Hatters (known as Get'R'Done Bar now). He put up his dukes and said "You can knock me to the ground, but don't touch the hat!!" Good shit!! He's in texas now, gung ho for Iraq!! Look forward in getting that case of Texas's very own Shiner Bock brew!!

Rachel...she just called me a minute ago. She is living in town at least and works at Wal-Mart. Good to know she'll be around. Aaron, her boyfriend, is from Laporte, and I met all those Laporte guys shortly after. Jesse, Aaron, Matt, Stan, and Wade. I feel like I am part of the town of Laporte now. Ever been there? Has a gas station between two bars and that's about it. Jesse i knew from security, and just got aquainted with that whole town later on. Very cool people.

There were some floor mates i still talk to. Chad is up around here somewhere this summer doing mission work in Red Lake. I think our friendship became lost cuz we went separate paths, but i would like to get ahold of him later on, and see if we can start over again. I am a scoundral.

I wish I could have gotten to know these people better, but I was occupied in a relationship (der der here i go again) but keep in mind that i will never forget these people, and they are important to me.

Ride On
